This seems to be a nonsense thread... so let me contribute. I recently tried out a roll film back with my Super Graphic. Used Ilford Delta 3200 which you can't get in 4x5. That let me shoot an outdoor concert at night with the 4x5 camera hand-held. Makes absolutely no sense but is fun and provides good entertainment for everyone around you:

I'm glad other people are also doing things they are told
" won't work" or " aren't supposed to do "
the problem is the people who for whatever reason say things have no idea what they are talking about ..
they just parrot others who come up with this nonsense and sit back in front of their computer screen
discouraging people from trying something new, and interesting.

I hope you continue enjoying yourself, and don't listen to the sometimes deafening static.

You're all wrong but only because I say so.

I don't know what the original question was... but everyone is addressing it except you ONF. WTF are you babbling about?

LOL... this was a dead thread as soon as the OP found his answer on google and asked (in the original post) for the thread to be closed.

There is no question to answer. Gee whiz, you have no sense of humor, Brian.

Yes, you could be right - it's me. Hasn't been a great day at work. I've been dealing with jackasses all morning and when I had a moment to myself I was hoping to address one of my favorite topics... I was disappointed because when I saw responses I thought folks were seriously interested. I know better now.

Sorry to learn of your bad day, Brian. Here's a joke that may, or may not, make you feel better.

There I was, sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker stepped up next to me, grabbed my drink and gulped it down in one swig.


"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?!", he says menacingly, as I burst into tears.


"Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to see a grown man crying".


"This is the worst day of my life", I said. "I'm a complete failure".


I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me.


When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance.


I left my wallet in the cab I took home.


When I got home I found my wife with another man.


When I opened the door to leave, my dog ran out and was run over and killed.


So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all and I bought a drink with my last three dollars.


I dropped a capsule in and sat here watching the poison dissolve.


Then you show up and drink the whole damn thing!!


But enough about me, how's your day going?

Old-N-Febbale If ur going to continue to be humorous, your ruining your reputation, and gonna have to change your picture into a smile...

ONF... that helped. Thanks.

I have a few vintage roll film backs for my Graflex 2x3, Speed 4x5, Mamiya RB67 Pro S and a home brew body.
My question is:
Were the film plane (ie on the pin rollers) - to - front plate dimensions on Graflex RH-10 back, Mamiya RB67ProS back, , Mamiya RB67 back , all made to exactly the same standard?
Was there an international standard at the time?

I know there are tolerances,and I have measured that dimension on some of my RH-10 backs, but I have not got around to measuring the others.

Meandering marsupial, they all conform to http://home.earthlink.net/~eahoo/page8/filmhold.html, as do most LF cut film holders.

Thanks Dan,
I wish I had asked before I made this rear frame in the photo below

I learnt that reverse engineering based on measuring a copy of the old vintage camera part, might work with other copies and might not.

I made on the lathe some lens boards with the body side Takumar 6x7 bayonet "interpreted". Some are interchangeable, but other lens boards are , let me say, "dedicated custom" items.

Thanks again,
